Just last year, at 68. Age is taking its toll, rapidly. I guess this is what happens when you write & publish 3 books in a year.

Click to ENLARGE. Me, last year, in ‘Shenandoah‘, just after my 68th birthday.

Wow. Wow. Wow. How I have grown. How I have changed. This was I just after my 1st birthday.

Me at age 1 in 1954. Yes, I was Ceylon’s “Lactogen Baby” 1954 to c. 1963.

Time, as you can see, has not been kind or gentle. C’est la vie. But, I will not trade the life I have had for anything else.

I never thought I will live to be 69. I truly believe I am living on borrowed time. I have now outlived my adoptive mother by 7-years. As a teen I never thought I would live to see 30.

You can see that the years have NOT been kind to I. C’est la vie.

I never thought I will live to be 68. I have now outlived my adoptive mother by 6-years.

These were taken earlier this week when I was in ‘Shenandoah‘. The room had a big mirror & as some of you know I can’t resist. Plus, I get complaints that I don’t post many pictures of myself. Well this lot should take care of it.

They were all taken a few days after I turned 68.
